Fan Bo, vice president of the Guangzhou Academy of Fine Arts, has a solo exhibition of "The Riddle of Cruising", which is the first exhibition after the relocation of the Guangdong Contemporary Art Center.
In the exhibition "Riddles of Cruising", Fan Bo artist shifts his perspective from "myth", "body" and "human habitat" from the context of social reality to a starting point constructed by body, life and spirit.
| The work "Untitled" |
Stepping into the prologue hall first, we can see the work "Untitled" with a pair of candlesticks hanging on the wall, so let us take the doubts of this work to feel the "Riddle of Cruising" exhibition.
"When 'wandering' and 'uncertain' are completely the background of a society, what other ultimate questions of eternal significance can we ask?"
| Dialogue between the gods of China and the West |
The front hall is a ritualized space for dialogue between chinese and Western gods, and you can see Apollo, the god of light, who has an oxygen tube inserted, and a bodhisattva wearing reading glasses, conveying that all the gods in China and the West will grow old.
In another place, Fan Bo artist rearranges 23 groups of "gods" in Braille in the order of Braille, and hangs a matrix of heads of "gods" with drug stains on the wall, the eastern gods are stained with brown, and the western gods are stained with blue, corresponding to the ten complete soups.
The hall revolves around paintings and manuscripts from the "Complex Phases and Anomalies" series, which are filled with formulas, symbols, and organ images, causing lesions and conveying the mysterious world inside the body.
This part is shaped from the previous part, echoing and differentiating. At the same time, it also connects the creative vein of the manuscript-style "painting notes" that the artist Fan Bo has run through various artistic experiments in recent years.
At the end of the exhibition hall, a Buddha appears, but the head of the Buddha is erased. This is based on the fact that the all-black statue "Manifestation", which was reproduced from the Northern Qi bust of the Buddha, has once again formed a conflicting relationship with the scientific anatomical organ images and manuscripts in the back hall.
In another place in the main exhibition hall, you can see colorful statues of Apollo, scattered among the rubble, their dazzling colors = sinking and redemption.
After viewing the exhibition, you can go to the outdoor terrace of the "Art Shop" and redeem your ticket for a drink
